We had to share a table, but it was fairly clean, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. There are various soups and buns on the menu, but their signature offering is the $3 unlimited breakfast buffet available before 10:30 am. The buffet might be a misnomer because it consists of 3 types of congee and 3 different drinks. You can choose any or all. I had the rice congee because it looked the best, and "orange juice" which tasted like Tang (which I like anyway). A staff member also gave us a, I think complimentary, sweet congee. Don't go out of your way, but if you're in the area and feel like having some congee, you can't go wrong for $3. I enjoyed my meal, and rate the eatery 4 stars.

As a Fuzhounese who grew up eating fish balls, peanut sauce noodles, and other Fuzhou specialties,…read moreI can say this place is legit! Everything tastes authentic and honestly reminded me of home. One thing to note: if you only read English, ordering might be a little challenging since the menu is entirely in Chinese. They also sell frozen dumplings, fish balls, and buns in the front. If you're like me and really enjoy their food but don't get to Flushing often, grabbing a couple of bags of these frozen goodies is a must before leaving! There is a bathroom for customers only, but you'll need to ask the cashier for the key. We ordered some of the signature Fuzhou dishes, including A (peanut sauce noodles), C, and D. I also tried #8, which I probably wouldn't order again. The noodle soup didn't have enough ingredients and felt a little lacking compared with the other dishes. Everything is pretty much self-service, so there's no need to tip. Seating is limited, and the tables are fairly close together. But hey, that's part of the charm of this type of Chinese street food! Definitely coming back the next time I'm in town.

Cuisine: 9 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 3 Value: 10 Overall: 9 Maybe the worst kept secret in Flushing, this is where I go for the best meal at the cheapest price. I swear Yelp must have removed my review because I was the first person to review this second location of a popular eatery specializing in cuisine from Fuzhou, China. It is a sister restaurant to the ultra popular Shu Jiao Fu Zhou in Chinatown. I've been following this shop for decades when they were still part of the Golden Mall with a different name. Anyway, let me shower them with one more glowing review. Even with the recent price increases, for a mere $20 dollars, you can still feed a family of four. How many restaurants can you find nowadays that fit this criteria? No true cheap eats food tour in Flushing is complete without making a stop here. As for quality, they have imho the best Pork & Chive Dumplings (K. 猪肉韭菜水饺) in Flushing, along with the best Wheat Noodles in Peanut Sauce (A. 拌面). I also get a few other items like Mini Pork Dumplings (E. 燕丸), Mini Pork Wontons (扁肉), and Fish Balls (D. 鱼丸). The menu is in Chinese only, but don't get intimidated. Check my pictures for exact items to order. Besides, at these prices, you can't make too terrible of a mistake right? I don't need to tell you that this place is a dive and service is minimal (but fast). However, no one eating here regularly gives 2 cents about that stuff. Just focus on the freshly made delicious food you're getting for less than any fast food chain out there.

The food here was very interesting. There aren't many Yunnan restaurants in NYC that serve things…read moreother than crossing the bridge rice noodles, and I was eager to taste some dishes with traditional Yunnan flavors. Most of the items contain some type of fruit element. I can't speak to the authenticity, but the dishes I got were unlike any Chinese food I've ever had. I ordered the passionfruit rice noodle soup with fatty beef and the stir fried mango beef. The staff kindly directed me to the sauce station before my food arrived, which had several small appetizers to enjoy as I waited. I really liked the crunchy spicy cracker things they had. The rice noodle soup came out first. It has a sour smell immediately which was intriguing and unfamiliar. The soup itself is fruity and sour but not sweet. It has a pleasant peppery heat and fresh herbaceous element. These flavors all work together and create a unique flavor profile. The noodles are slippery and bouncy and there was some unexpected surprises lying underneath, like strips of hot dog. I saw some photos online that made the stir fry look fairly light on the beef, but my portion seemed larger than what I was expecting. The strips of beef are combined with mango, bell pepper and slices of kumquat. The mango is very soft when cooked, and its sweetness is tempered with salt and the savory beef. The peppers were also soft and the little slices of kumquat provided an extra punch of sour flavor. My complaint about this place is that I found the beef in both of my dishes to be subpar. I believe it's an issue of low quality product and not one of cooking. The pieces in the soup were dry and unpleasantly chewy and I avoided them all together. The pieces in the stir fry appeared to be some sort of grisly off cut. The long muscle fibers were sliced with the grain instead of against, which provided a chewy and unpleasant eating experience. The interior is well decorated and while others have mentioned how small it is, I had no problem finding a table and didn't feel very cramped at all. The service was extremely friendly and kind despite an obvious language barrier. I'm not sure if I would return but I was pleased with my experience here and it was fascinating to experience these flavor combinations which were new and unfamiliar to me.

They said the free sour cabbage, fried crunchy chips, and the sour special sauce is good. Food: food were ok. we had the passion fruit noodle. Noodle were a bit overcooked. The soup were sour. The fatty beef were a bit chewey. The stirred fried noodle were a bit bland, which is why there were sauce station. But despite the taste were a bit bland, my mouth feels a bit of garlicky. I am giving it a 3 star just because you can add your own spice to adjust your own taste.

Shi Miao Dao has become one of the more popular franchises. However, this location is not one of my favorites. First of all, I have been here a few times and the servers are usually somewhat dismissive. Not always, but it doesn't feel warm and friendly most of the time. Secondly, the food is just average and the broth always feels a little light and lacks depth. Their other branch location on Kissena Blvd is better.

Hot day, nice AC, nice music, excellent waiter, complimentary tea. My wife ordered Tomato Fish Fillet Rice Noodle soup ($14.95). I ordered Chicken Leg with Mushroom Rice Noodle soup ($12.95). My wife's order was slightly more bold flavored than mine, but both were delicious. The restaurant was also running this free fruit drink promo where you receive a free fruit tea drink if you post a picture of your food and a review on social media. My wife got a passion fruit tea drink, and I got a peach tea. I didn't get to taste my wife's drink but my drink was excellent. If you like rice noodle soup, this eatery rates a good 4 stars. However, because of the excellent service, and especially the prices for everything we got, I have to bump up my rating another 1/2 star for an robust overall total of 4 1/2 stars.
